Compassion is not an art!.

The XIV Dalai Lama has said that compassion is the desire to alleviate the suffering of others!.

This desire is not learned!. This compassion is not an art!.

This desire to alleviate the suffering of others is a desire close to god's heart!.

God's heart is in you!. You already have the compassion, you are just not sure what to do with it!. You can go and learn it by looking into yourself!. You are art!. You are compassion!.

Know that, and you are on your way to experiencing compassion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Compassion seems to come natural to some people!.
To others, they are so self observed that they can't even comprehend what compassion!.

If a person without compassion is suddenly inspired to learn soemthing that isn't natural to them, they have to reach deep in their hearts and soul to just start to comprehend!. It isn't always that easy to learln!. I would say it can't be learned, but that would limit the human mind and soul!.

Those who must learn to feel compassion often can't just automatically show compassion, their congnitive brain must tell the heart and soul to take action that has been taught!. Only then can the person show compassion!.

Where to go learn it!? Some might say to God!. Others would say to read books on the subject!. There there is alway self awearness that seems to come out of nowhere!.

I personally have too much compasion!. I would love to share some of it with someone!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Life imitates art and vise versa!.What we make of it is purely subjective to our own reasoning devices - upbringing,societal; norms & conditioning !. How you see and judge & learn from it it is up to you !? Its philosophical answer lies in how you really view art & life !?
This question is very esoeteric in its philosophic reasoning,because in life and art there is never one set answer,but multiple facets to seeing its problems followed by its answers !?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hmmmm that's a very interesting question!. But, it's kind of rhetorical in a sense as well!. Well, compassion is taught to us as children, so we learn it from an early age!. If someone hasn't learned compassion by the time they reach adulthood then they probably will not!. It's also inside of us and its what we should feel when someone needs it because one day we might!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You have to be born with it, you could try to learn it but it'd be a pale imitation compared with true compassion! that's the first thing that came to my mind, since it's philosophy I've always thought it's your first thought what really counts!.!.!.!.!. I think that deep inside that's mY philosophy =)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Life is the great teacher of compassion!. You can turn compassion into an Art by perfecting its application!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

One can exercise their compassion by visiting hospitals, all kind of asylums and cemeteries, from time to time!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the golden rule!.!.some of us even memorize every word of it but we hardly practice it!. if you practice empathy, everything else will follow!. (i sound so noble lol)Www@QuestionHome@Com
